Help Needed!!!

Postby JBagKY » Tue Feb 17, 2009 9:43 am

I have been offered a trade of Ryan Braun (10 with option to sign contrat), Brian Wilson (10 in year 2) and 12th and 13th pick in our farm draft for Joey Votto (10 in year 2) and Chad Billingsley (15 in year 2 of 2 year contract).

This is a 12 team NL Only Keeper league with this as the rest of my team (probably my keepers)

Stephen Drew 15 in year 2
Mark Reynolds 10 in option year
Cristian Guzman 5 in year 2
Cody Ross 7 in year 2
Yovani Gallardo 10 in option year (probably will sign to 2 year contract making him 15)
Max Scherzer 10 in year 2
Wandy Rodriguez 10 in year 2
Paul Maholm 4 in year 2
Derek Lowe 17 in year 2
Jon Rauch 5 in year 2

In farm system I have Colby Rasmus and Jordan Schafer.

What do you guys think? I am leaning toward taking it, though I hate to give up Votto. I think that what I get with Braun is worth it. Thoughts?

Seems like a no brainer to be. Of course, I am not that high on Votto.

Yeah, I would easily do it. It would be excellent to be able to get Braun long-term. Votto is a lofty price, but Braun is the more proven commodity.

I ended up countering with Drew, Billingsley, and Schafer for Braun, Wilson and farm picks. I think that it was fair either way, but this way I keep Votto. It was accepted and I am pretty happy with it.

Thanks for the help!
